The annual international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) is the major meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Over the past eighteen years the ISMB conference has grown to become the world’s largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference, and ISMB/ECCB 2011 will be the year’s most important computational biology event globally.
□ VIZBI 2011: NIH conference on visualizing biological data
>> http://vimeo.com/album/1640748
As biological data grows rapidly in volume and complexity, biologists rely increasingly on computational visualization to gain insight from data. The VIZBI 2011 conference brought together researchers developing and using computational tools to visualize data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations. VIZBI 2011 was held March 16-18 at the Broad Institute, Cambridge MA, USA.

Two initiatives to promote data sharing held workshops at the conference: BioSharing and ELIXIR. At the BioSharing workshop, which discussed the bioDBcore database cataloging project, Genome Biology appeared on the panel as a voice of open access publishing and representative of BioMed Central. In addition to Genome Biology, BioMed Central had several other journals represented at the ISMB, including a strong presence from BMC Bioinformatics and GigaScience.

Despite the advantages of using the enormous user base, the drawback of using a wikipedia based system is the lack of semantic representation. Using semantic media wiki to combine this externally may solve some of this issue, and Ben Good followed this talk showing how genes can be linked to diseases by making a wiki mashup of SNPedia with Gene Wiki.

Sciencenet -- a multidimensional search engine http://bit.ly/nS6xTd
There is a prototype at http://sciencenet.kit.edu/. I’ve had a little play, and think I’m going to put the emphasis on prototype. I ran a search on a protein close to my heart and found the results not quite as useful as if I’d gone directly to some of the more familiar databases. Perhaps Sciencenet will improve with time?I certainly hope so?or maybe we should think about a filtering mechanism on top of this search engine (hey, now that sounds familiar).

Interoperability between Biomedical Ontologies through Relation Expansion, Upper-Level Ontologies and Automatic Reasoning.
We describe a method to improve automated reasoning over biomedical ontologies and identify several thousand contradictory class definitions. Our approach aligns terms in biomedical ontologies with foundational classes in a top-level ontology and formalizes composite relations as class expressions.

より安価でよりコンパクトなDNAシーケンサーをめざす技術的進展は、画像化技術の必要性などいくつかの要因が足かせとなっている。今回、光学的読み取りを行わず、代わりに、鋳型指示DNA合成反応で生成される水素イオンを直接検知して塩基配列データを集める新規のDNAシーケンシング技術が報告された。この手法は、大規模並列処理半導体検出装置(イオンチップ)を用いた、廉価で拡張性の高い塩基配列解読法への道を開くものだ。

http://nature.asia/nVTMPc
「バイオ医薬品」の開発に新たな波がおしよせている。最初の波は1980年代。遺伝子組み換え技術を用いたヒト成長ホルモンやインスリンなどの、いわゆる第1世代のバイオ医薬品が上市された。その後、抗体や改変タンパク質の技術、トランスジェニック動物、RNAなどの核酸を用いた創薬研究がさかんになり、2000年以降、ヒト型抗EGF受容体抗体(トラスツズマブ)をはじめとするさまざまな抗体医薬品が承認されるようになっている。
さらに、RNAなどの核酸を利用する試みも進んでいる。こうした、第2、第3世代のバイオ医薬品開発について、研究開発の現状から、成功の鍵、安全性の検証、今後の予測まで、最前線を多角的にレポートする。

Evidence-Based African First Aid Guidelines and Training Materials
In sub-Saharan Africa, much disease and injury can be addressed by emergency care. First aid training has been promoted as an inexpensive way to save lives. However, first aid training in sub-Saharan Africa is often based on handbooks prepared outside of the continent that are not adapted to the African context.
We formulated evidence-based guidelines that comprehensively address how basic first responders should be trained to manage emergency situations in an African context. The guidelines focussed on first aid interventions requiring minimal or no equipment.

Chaotic Behavior in the Xenopus laevis Embryo ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3…
Does the Potential for Chaos Constrain the Embryonic Cell-Cycle Oscillator?
By extending a cell-cycle model previously developed for embryos of the frog Xenopus laevis to include the spatial dimensions of the embryo, we establish a novel role for the rapid, fertilization-initiated calcium wave that triggers cell-cycle oscillations.
Specifically, in our simulations a fast calcium wave results in synchronized cell cycles, while a slow wave results in full-blown spatio-temporal chaos. We show that such chaos would ultimately lead to an unpredictable patchwork of cell divisions across the embryo. Given this potential for chaos, our results indicate a novel design principle whereby the fast calcium-wave trigger following embryo fertilization synchronizes cell divisions.

量子情報の長距離移送: 外部摂動下ネットワークのカスケードダイナミクスにおける光子損失の最小化
Recently, small-scale quantum communication has been realized by transporting entangled photons, rendering potentially feasible quantum networks on large scales. We propose a class of quantum networks comprising quantum repeaters for long-distance information transport and local networks of fibers and switches.
As the transmitting capability is limited by the node bandwidth, photon loss can occur through the dynamical process of cascading when the network is under external perturbations. We obtain results that can be used to guide quantum network design to minimize the photon loss.

Sometimes the Solution is not the Solution.
If companies only focus on the solution, if they construe this as the only valuable thing that can come from Open Problem-Solving or Open Innovation, they will be disappointed if this solution does not come. Similarly, if a solution is found but discarded, the company will seem to have wasted its time and money. It is better to think of Open Innovation as a process of development or maturation within R&D: a fundamental cultural shift in a company’s approach to thinking about problems.
